    152: The real reason your income is capped (it’s not what you think!)

    This week on Online Business Uncovered, I’m talking about why most entrepreneurs think their income is capped because they need a better strategy… better funnels… better marketing… or more visibility. But what if that’s not the real problem? In this episode, I’m diving into the internal shift that has to happen before any external growth is possible because you simply cannot build scalable income with a service provider identity. If your business still relies on you being present for every pound earned, there will always be a ceiling (and that ceiling isn’t strategic!). It’s structural. It’s identity. Inside this episode, I’m sharing: The difference between thinking like a service provider and thinking like a digital CEOWhy scaling isn’t about doing more (and how doing more leads straight to burnout)How I navigated this shift while rebuilding my own membership platformThe uncomfortable but necessary evolution that creates real freedomIf you’re fully booked but feeling stretched… If your income is directly tied to your time… If you know you want scalable offers but feel stuck… This episode will help you see what actually needs to change because freedom in business isn’t accidental… it’s designed!

    151: Why I decided to change my membership platform (and what it taught me about growth)

    This week on Online Business Uncovered, I’m taking you behind the scenes of a big decision I’ve recently made in my business… moving my membership to a brand new platform. Now on the surface, it might sound like a simple tech update but this episode isn’t really about platforms… it’s about real growth! Over the past 18 months, my membership has evolved and my vision has expanded. I’ve added more structure, clearer phases, launch support and ongoing marketing and sales training. However, somewhere along the way, what once felt simple and exciting started to feel restrictive and clunky. In this episode, I share what led to that decision, the fear that creeps in when something works “well enough” and why sometimes growth requires us to upgrade our systems, our standards and the experience we create for our clients. If you’re feeling friction in your business right now (whether it’s your offers, your tech, your structure or your direction) then this episode will help you reflect on whether you’ve simply outgrown your current setup because sometimes evolution doesn’t look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like refinement and that’s where real freedom in business begins! Grab a cuppa, get comfy and tune in as this one might be exactly what you need to hear right now!

    In this milestone episode of Online Business Uncovered, I’m joined by Coach Tammy Appleton for a real, honest conversation about something new we’re building together… the Online Business Growth Summit happening this October. This isn’t just another online event. It’s our response to what we’re seeing everywhere right now... brilliant entrepreneurs feeling overwhelmed, stuck, burnt out and quietly wondering if there’s a smarter way to grow! In this episode, we share why we decided to create this summit, what we believe is missing in the online business space and why we’re choosing to build it in public (messy moments and all!).  No hype. No inflated promises. Just clarity, practical support and genuine connection. We talk about the real challenges business owners are facing… LIKE fear, frustration, perfectionism, the pressure to “have it all figured out” and why building a scalable, sustainable business requires both strategy and inner work. You’ll hear how we’re designing this summit to help you: Move beyond trading time for moneyClarify your next stepsCreate repeatable offersBuild systems that support your lifeShow up with visibility and intentionAnd perhaps most importantly, you’ll hear us navigating this process in real time, sharing what it actually takes to bring an idea to life.

    149: From failure to online success with Steve Bridson

    In this episode of Online Business Uncovered, I’m sitting down with business mentor and founder of the Business Booster Academy, Steve Bridson, for a really open and honest conversation about what it actually takes to build a successful online business. Steve shares his entrepreneurial journey so far… from working within family businesses and offering one-to-one consulting, to making the leap into the online space and building a membership community. We talk candidly about the highs, the setbacks, the lessons learned the hard way and why failure often plays a much bigger role in success than we like to admit. Together, we dive into the realities of launching and evolving an online business like making tough pivots, choosing the right tech (and ditching what doesn’t work), understanding your numbers, letting go of perfection and the power of surrounding yourself with the right support.  We also talk about the quieter side of entrepreneurship like burnout, self-doubt and those moments where running a business can feel pretty lonely. If you’re building a business and wondering whether you’re on the right path (or questioning yourself along the way) then this episode is packed with practical insights, mindset shifts and reassurance that you’re not alone in the journey. Business Boost Academy Business Boost Academy has been set up to support micro business owners to provide the skills and the tools to run their business effectively.  Members get access to educational content, podcasts, articles and resources.   As well as these resources, there is a community forum where they can engage, share ideas and support other business owners who are in a similar position on the business journey.  As the community grows there will be the opportunity to take part in live events such as business masterminds, webinar plus planning and accountability sessions.

    148: The ONE thing that’s costing you growth in your business!

    In this episode of Online Business Uncovered, I’m talking about one of the biggest things I see holding entrepreneurs back from real business growth… fear. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in planning mode, endlessly tweaking your ideas or staying busy with tasks that feel productive but don’t actually move your business forward then just know - you’re not alone! I see this all the time with business owners who want to grow, create digital products or build scalable income but feel stuck at the same level. In this episode, I share why fear isn’t usually the real problem. More often, it disguises itself as busyness, perfectionism or waiting until you feel “ready.” I talk about how fear keeps you comfortable, familiar and stuck and how that comfort zone can quietly cost you momentum, confidence and growth in your business. I’ll walk you through how to recognise when fear is running the show, how to reframe it and how to use it as a signal that you’re actually on the edge of growth — not failure. Whether you’re thinking about launching your first digital product, growing your audience, making a bold business move or stepping into the next level of your business then this episode will help you stop overthinking and start taking meaningful action. I also share real stories, practical insights and encouragement to help you stop letting fear make your decisions and start building a business that supports more freedom, clarity and growth (without burning yourself out in the process).
